A Simplified Understanding of the Olivet Discourse of Jesus
FOJ: Perhaps the most well known prophecy in the whole Bible is Jesus famous exchange with his Disciples in the Olivet Discourse, which highlights his responses to three of their very distinct; but are, by their structuring, actually “time / age separated” topics:
(Matthew 24:3 As he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, asking:
(1) Tell us, when shall all these things be?
(2) And what shall be the sign of thy coming? (3) And of the end of the world?
Jesus broad sweeping response details signs and events that pertain to three different eras of world history!
(1) Some of his answers point to the first century demise of Israel and the Roman destruction of Jerusalem.
(2) Still many more of the signs in his response point to the “Last Days,” after Israel has been regathered back into its own land; & Jerusalem becomes a burdensome stone for all the nations leading to the ultimate crisis involving the Antichrist!
(3) Finally, the response of Jesus to the Disciples third question has to do with the actual End of the World; which of course alludes to the post 1000 year Kingdom Age for Israel; when God ushers in a New Heaven and a New Earth. (Rev 21:1-3)
